Women are on the rise as never before! Indigenous sisters are on the cutting edge of struggles from defiant Kurdish regions to the battle to stop a Liquid Natural Gas facility on Puyallup tribal land near Tacoma, Washington. Rohingya women and girls fight genocidal rape, while countless women attest #MeToo, as they expose sexual harassers. Sisters in Latin America are suffering the devastating effects of neo-liberalism and demanding the right to control their own bodies. Immigrant and refugee women try to hold their families together against a world divided by capitalist borders. And African American women continue to provide the leadership that has inspired and mobilized movements around the world for generations.

In the spirit of International Women’s Day, a day founded by socialist women to honor the struggles of working-class heroines, Radical Women salutes our sisters at the heart of every movement for liberation. Women hold up half the sky. Together with our allies among all oppressed people, we can take down the patriarchal capitalist system.
